Bring back Xenogears!!!

Edit: Played XC1 way back on Wii. Enjoyed it, but wasn’t crazy about the characters or combat. For some reason I bought XC3 on Switch, haven’t even opened it yet. Excited about XCX though; the emphasis on exploration and combat versus tons of story—and those mechs—has me feeling ready to give it a solid go.

Absolutely going to get this, but may opt for PS5 for a better frame rate and load times. Looks bat sh*t crazy and AWESOME!

Depends on a lot of factors: screen type, backwards compatibility (boost mode?), games, price... Likely I will keep my OLED for my 2d pixel-games and the 2 for newer stuff like Metroid Prime 4.

It’ll be $400 (if lcd screen) - $450 (if OLED screen) US. Princess Peach told me in a dream.

Metroid: Samus Returns Remastered… TAKE ALL MY MONEY!!! This is the one and only Metroid game I haven’t played bc I skipped the DS… Just lock the map to a ‘pause’ like usual—all good!

This looks bonkers and really, really cool. Sort of almost giving me Killer7 vibes, and that’s never a bad thing!

@mazz @chlocean Killer7 is so frackin amazing and needs a rerelease or remaster SO BAD! Best work Suda51 ever did ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This game looks like it captures the same energy, like David Lynch meets Aeon Flux

nOLED will definitely be disappointing. I am just now coming around to OLED as a “must have”, having finally purchased a LG C4 after years of being wowed by my Switch OLED (got at launch). So yeah, grumpy and all that…

Aaaaaaaand cancelled my LRG order, saved $12… thanks NintendoLife!

I love Symphony of the Night, but there are sooooo many games in that style these days. I’d love to see something different and unexpected!
But then again, given how long it’s been, playing it safe may be the better option…

Demo is really fun; seems like a fantastic game, but… not something I’d play on Switch. I mostly play handheld, and this is something that deserves a big screen, 60fps, and gyro.

I am expecting $449. For a more powerful and feature-packed iteration of a console that is not dropping in price, $100 more seems logical.
$400 would surprise me…

Finally started Reverie (after buying on sale a year ago) and really enjoying it; it’s quirky, casually challenging, and has lots of atmosphere. The sequel sounds like another step up! Glad to see a positive response here; got my physical copy preordered!

Name is boring, but makes sense. Don’t love the logo either, too busy I think. But yeah… it’s what’s under the hood and in the cartridge slot that’s matter in the end!

Gotta try this solely because it was created by the Blasphemous devs. Probably on a sale…

Limp Bizkit, huh? That’s a choice…

I voted swan song, with some fun surprises and shadow drops hopefully. And honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if Nintendo surprises us all with pre-orders opening for Switch 2 at the end of the direct on April 2nd, especially given the info about making plenty of units for launch. Let the fun begin!

@Bunkerneath It’s a Limited Run release, up for pre-order now:

Been wondering when this review is going to drop! So glad that they ironed out the performance issues before release for the sequel. Got my physical copy from play Asia pre-ordered!

Totally ignoring Elder MAGNOLIA? What gives?!

@FredsBodyDouble No clue! Not a PC gamer. May not be a completely original idea then, but it still feels like I big deal!

@stulog Seriously! How was Pikmin not mentioned in this article?! Pikmin 5 with mouse support!

This really will be a game-changer—a console controller that doubles as a mouse; ingenious! People saying that Switch 2 is bringing nothing new to the table will be eating those words once this thing releases.
Can’t wait!

Looks cool but seems dramatically overpriced. Maybe consider on a deep sale…

Assuming the price model for their online services stays the same for 2, I will 100% buy this. Been wanting to play it since release, but I no longer subscribe to PlayStation’s vastly overpriced online service. So… cool!

Really enjoying this so far, recommend folks to go for it!

Did it spoil the excitement of the reveal for me? Yeah, it kind of did. Will it “damage” my chances of buying the new system? Abso—f***ing—lutely not! I am 100% ready to buy. And there are still lots of questions which, admittedly, I’m a bit annoyed they didn’t answer in the reveal trailer, but will maintain some element of mystery and excitement. In closing, leakers are annoying, and water is wet.

Underwhelming reveal, given the leaks. We didn’t learn much here, other than “it exists” , especially given that it’s an iterative console. Power? Screen (LCD vs OLED)? I dunno, it was all very underwhelming to me…
Still excited though!

I really enjoyed F.I.S.T., but this looks… not as good

Still hoping these controller leaks are fake. The Joy-Cons are deeply flawed, ergonomically speaking, and to think that with the opportunity of a new console Nintendo would do next to nothing to improve the controllers is massively disappointing. But… not looking promising, seems like these may be legit…

Animal Well for me. Certainly not the most impressive in terms of pushing the hardware, but artistically speaking, the visuals and atmosphere are really special and really shine in handheld mode on the OLED.

This is a MUST BUY

Ummmm, none of the above…

I sure hope we get those sequels! That Prime remaster was a masterpiece; the gyro controls were a gamechanger. Fingers, toes—all appendages—crossed!

Not a shmup gamer by any means, but after reading this fantastic review (@spadgy) I tried the demo and WOW what a game! Absolutely LOVE the artistry on display here, with the super weird body horror art direction—what disgusting and strange enemies and environments will come next?!—and the jazzy soundtrack and gross sound effects that complement the action. The tutorials were so fun to play through—educational, funny, and very helpful. Highly recommend this game! SOLD! So glad I read this review today!

Looks fun, but I still haven’t opened my copy of Echoes of Wisdom (or Tears of the Kingdom lol). I’m deep into Silent Hill 2 and haven’t even finished Astrobot. Too many games… and Nintendo has lost my attention at the moment!

This seems like an easy purchase at that price, with a discount no less! SOLD

@Daniel36 Uh-huh 🙄

Super Mario Bros. 2 at #19??!!!
[stops reading article]

Maybe because it is very light? 🤗

@NeonPizza I do not remember… sorry, not helpful!

Demo on PS5 was solid. A weird game, and like others have said, feels like a blend of 90’s horror and Final Fantasy 7. Hope a physical gets released soon!

Coming to Switch in November with brand new… performance issues

Glad to see this review well, as it looked really intriguing in the trailers. Will hopefully grab a physical copy down the road!

I really hope this is fake. Looks exactly the same…
Really hoping for controllers that I can hold without buying a grip, an actual d-pad, and back buttons. We need improvements, people!

Elden Ring would be an epic addition. I would likely rebuy it just so I could enjoy the multiplayer via Nintendo’s much more affordable online service. Given Dark Souls eventually arrived on the Switch, it does seem possible..:

That’s great news. I’ll probably start on normal; looking forward to a more relaxing experience.
But if it feels too easy… 📈

Loved the first game, didn’t even realize this was a thing! Easy purchase! Add to cart! Sold!

No way Nintendo would charge 500 for a console. My guess would be 400 max.

How about we get some new Amiibos from literally ANY other Nintendo franchise… 🙄

@olliemar28 Playing Isolation for the first time this weekend as my Romulus prep as well! Seeing it Monday. Never heard of Infestation—looks fantastic though! I don’t have a DS… What are the chances this game will end up on NSO at some point! 🤞🏼🤞🏼

This looks fantastic! Gee gosh golly, the quality pixel-platformers just keep on coming!
